Split Pea Soup - Potage Saint Germain

I love pureed soups. Easy to make, uncomplicated, and when food is this simple, when the ingredients are the best, so is the soup! Freshly dried split peas are exceptional and make a soup like this worth savouring every spoonful. It's the blending of the starch and other ingredients that give this soup its wonderful body. Use a food mill, food processor or your stick blender, to achieve different consistencies.
